[X3andZ4owner]

One X5 stolen in our street night to today, a 30sd and another neighbours X5 almost stolen ( the screw broke in the cylinder) 30d both year 2009...
Another stolen nearby night to yesterday ( 2011 X5)

On the floor the lock cylinder was left, they had drilled a screw in the cylinder to pull it out.
But how of they bypass the alarm so fast and how do they start the car?

Is the X3 as easy to steal?

Probably eastern european thieves local police states.

Dunno about new X3, but the old one was based on E46 platform, so... yes.

The key from BMW is very easily copied, didn't know it was this easy. Of course BMW denies that this is the case.

The keys are programmed as seen above. There was 300 stolen in a month in the UK most were the 1M there is a video on the forum of guys stealing one on camera.
